Solitary Bees: Identification and Nesting Ecology
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2020
- This is one of FSC virtual meet ups (VMUs) on Zoom which we've started doing in response to the COVID-19 lockdown. These free online webinars covered topics such as invertebrate ecology, easy to ID species/groups, or projects/recording schemes we can all get involved with.
In this talk, Aaron Bhambra provides an introduction to solitary bee identification and ecology. With around 250 species in the UK, solitary Bees are pretty ubiquitous and abundant animals. The trouble lies in knowing a Miner from a Mason, a Furrow from a Nomad and all the other fascinating varieties we see in our parks and gardens. This talk aims to teach you some simple observational tips on how to identify common species and explain the varied nesting ecologies of the world’s most important insects.

I live outside of the UK and it was quite helpful. Thank you very much!
What a great video! And it is a lot of information, but that is just the nature of such a video! It took me two days to get to the end, but enjoyed your presentation very much, subscribed, and saved the video for another watch. Thank you for your deep development of knowledge about bees and sharing this information.
Thank you so much for making this presentation! It was so well presented and makes the information so easy to digest for those of us with an interest but very little practical knowledge.
Excellent presentation. We heard you say that you had not recorded the bee species Wool carder. We photographed this bee last summer and this summer in my mother-in-law’s garden on Lion Farm estate, Oldbury. Her garden backs onto St James school playing field. Male and female feeding/collecting pollen on purple toadflax. I’ve since given her a cutting of my Lambs ear plant.
Oh wow. It's always worth submitting any records (along with a photo if you have it) to iRecord to get the record into the system: www.brc.ac.uk/irecord/
Excellent presentation, learned very much.
Wow, thanks a lot! I am German, but I could still profit a lot from the presented information, cause we do have a lot of overlap in species with UK.
Sorry to be a pain. The right-hand bee at 44:30 is not M.centuncularis, as the tip of its scopa is dark. At 35:50 and next slide you have a spelling mistake in "Anthophora". You inserted an extra R. (I've also long objected to "An-thoph-ora" pronunciation. The name is made up of two parts, Antho (flower) and phora (carry), "thoph" makes no sense.) Early on you talk about bees having a stinger and collecting pollen, Well male bees fail on both counts, and Cuckoo bees (like Nomada and Sphecodes which you mention) don't collect pollen. But overall a good presentation, and I learned quite a bit. Thanks.
well clearly someone was paying attention in class ♥
Excellent presentation :-)
dude, you did so good, awesome presentation
Great webinar. Very clear on the subject and building up the knowledge. You might want to slow down a little to easier digest that great information in the time given.
0.75 speed is perfect to watch at ;)
What I need to ID some little bees drilling holes in my lawn.
